“To our house,” Ryan replied without raising his head.
Niamh glanced at him coldly. “Stop the wishful thinking. I never liked you.”
“You can’t erase the fact that you’re my wife on our marriage certificate regardless of whether you like me or not.” Ryan raised his head and smiled from the bottom of his eyes. “We’re lawfully wedded no matter where we go.”
Niamh could not help but face the fact that her marriage with Ryan was indeed legal.
Ryan smiled and looked at Niamh’s sharp gaze. “I can also tell you now that I was the one who initially suggested to the higher-ups of Interpol that I’ll protect you and your family by getting married to you. Of course, they wouldn’t know that I only proposed such a plan for my own selfish reasons.”
“Ryan, you’re despicable.”
Ryan chuckled disapprovingly and raised his hand to pinch Niamh’s chin.
Niamh turned her face to dodge away from him but Ryan forcefully turned her to face him again. Then, she saw a dark and sinister glint in his eyes.
“Yes, I am despicable. As such, I’m afraid you won’t be able to see Kendrick again for the rest of your life.”
“What are you talking about?” Upon hearing this, Niamh could not continue to confront Ryan calmly. “Ryan, what are you trying to do?”
Niamh struggled with all her strength.
However, Ryan just smiled and let go of his hand.
In the next second, Adam appeared in front of Niamh again.
He was holding the syringe again. Then, ignoring Niamh’s struggling and resistance, he injected the transparent liquid from the syringe into Niamh’s vein again.
“What is this? Ryan, what did you tell Adam to give me?” Niamh questioned sternly with the last trace of her consciousness.
In her gradually blurring vision that was getting more and more distant, Niamh saw Ryan’s lips curling unhurriedly. In the next moment, she heard his deep and demonic voice saying, “A magical reagent that can make you obedient and sand your sharp edges down at the same time.”
“…”
Niamh certainly did not believe that there was any magic in this world, so it was likely something terrifying that Adam had developed.
She could not guess exactly what it was before she fell unconscious again.
…
Kendrick and his party searched the villa for the entire day and night but they did not find any clues about Ryan’s whereabouts.
On that day, Kendrick did not eat, drink, nor sleep. A patch of dark stubble started growing around his lips, making him look very haggard.
He did not know where Ryan took Niamh.
He could not even guess what Ryan would do to Niamh.
He only knew that he was going crazy.
“Nia, where the hell are you?”
He felt as if a fire was burning his heart, and this unknown situation caused him to fall into a kind of extreme panic.
He did not dare to think about how Ryan would treat Niamh.
No matter how strong she was, she was still a woman at the end of the day.
‘Nia, I’ve failed to protect you again.
‘I told you I’d protect you for the rest of my life, but in the end, you’re the one who has to constantly worry about me. At the same time, you’re also putting yourself in harm’s way.’
“Nia…” Kendrick called out Niamh’s name in distress.
At this moment, a younger colleague from Interpol hurried over to Kendrick. “Kendrick, we’ve found your wife’s whereabouts!”
Kendrick jumped up from the sofa abruptly. “Where is she?”
“I just found out that Ryan has a private jet. He boarded the plane last night and left Glendale!”
“Where is that plane’s landing site?” Kendrick asked anxiously.
“I don’t know for the time being.” The man shook his head, but soon, he gave Kendrick hope. “However, the radar can detect that the plane is still in flight currently.”
Kendrick’s gloomy eyes gradually brightened, the light in them apparent.
He returned to Waldburg Manor to hastily tidy up his appearance and change his clothes.
While on his way out, Jackson and Lillian followed behind him.
“Daddy, have you not found Mommy yet?” Jackson asked uneasily.
Kendrick squatted. He stroked the comely and cute little faces in front of him, giving them a smile that was as gentle as a spring breeze.
“Jack, take good care of your sister. Daddy will definitely bring Mommy home.”
Jackson nodded, but his small brows were tightly furrowed.
Kendrick could see that his son was still worried about Niamh, and so was he.
Niamh had an irreplaceable position in his heart. He would rather bleed than see her hurt in any way.
He was worrying about Niamh’s safety, so his thoughts started to wander. Suddenly, he felt his little cute daughter pulling the corner of his clothes.
Lillian was also frowning. She was not speaking, but she stretched out her small arms and hugged Kendrick. “Daddy.”
She called out to him again, her sweet voice filling Kendrick’s heart. He felt so soft and warm.
“My dear Lily, Daddy is going to bring Mommy home now. You two must be obedient, okay?”
He urged softly, and the two children nodded at the same time.
Kendrick was reluctant to leave them, but now, he had more concerns about Niamh in his heart.
As soon as he got in the car, he received news that Ryan’s private jet had landed in Y Country.
He did not delay even for a second. He immediately rushed to the airport to meet up with his colleagues to get ready to leave for Y Country.
…
Niamh had fallen into a deep slumber, and when she woke up, she saw herself lying on a big bed.
She quickly sat up, but perhaps she had exerted too much force, so her head felt heavy and her body was very weak.
She sat on the bed and paused for a few seconds before she got up to walk to the French window.
Everything in front of her was unfamiliar, and she had no way of guessing where she was.
Click.
Suddenly, the door opened and Niamh turned around vigilantly. Then, she saw Ryan walking slowly toward her with one hand in his pocket.
He was dressed in casual clothes. In addition to that, he looked like he was in good spirits and not at all like a fugitive.
“Where is this place?” Niamh asked directly. She did not have the mood to beat around the bush with Ryan. “What do you want?”
Ryan did not mind Niamh’s indifferent attitude that seemed as if she was repulsed by him. He appeared to have regained his initial warmth when he parted his lips and said in a soft tone, “You should wash up and eat something. I’ll take you to see two people in two days.”
“I don’t want to see anyone, Ryan. I want to go home!”
“This is your home, and you’re my wife.” Ryan’s eyes suddenly looked domineering. “You’d better remember that we’re lawfully wedded.”
After he said that, two young and beautiful maids came in through the door.
“Go help Madam brush her teeth and change her clothes,” he ordered.
The two servants answered simultaneously, “Yes, Master.”
Ryan then saw Niamh glaring at him before turning around.
The two servants strolled to Niamh and were friendly when helping her change into a new set of clothes. They helped her brush her teeth as well.
Niamh wanted to reject but failed to do so. She knew it was because she had been injected with two doses of that stuff that it was now affecting her.
After Ryan left the room, a young lady quickly ran over to him with a bashful look that was filled with anticipation. “Rye, I’m guessing you have some time to spare right now, right? Can we talk?”
Ryan sneered at the lady in front of him and made his way downstairs lazily.
He looked at the news that popped out on his phone carefreely. He read that the police in Glendale and Interpol were searching for his whereabouts.
However, he would not let them get him so easily.
